GLOBAL knives are made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially developed by GLOBAL as it holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted for optimum performance and balance. Other unique features include its smooth contours and seamless construction which eliminates food and dirt traps offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene. The acute 15-degree angle cutting edge provides unsurpassed performance and superior edge retention.
When purchasing any GLOBAL® knife block set, we strongly recommend investing in a ceramic water sharpener or whetstone in order to maintain your knives and keep them razor sharp.
Made in Japan
First designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada, Global knives maintain the rigorous high-standards that were applied to katana blades all those years ago. Employing the finest modern materials and design techniques, Global knives are a proud continuation of Japanese tradition.
Comfortable Handles
The secret to great chopping lies in the handle, and Global understands this. Comfortably resting in your hand, Global knives ensure you have precise control of all your cutting and slicing at all times.
Stainless Steel Construction
Composed of CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, Global Knives are resistant to corrosion and rust, and can be sharpened to a razor’s edge. Hardened to Rockwell C56-58 and ice tempered, Global knives maintain their sharpness for longer, for effortless cutting.
Perfectly Balanced
Global knife handles are hollow and filled with precise amounts of sand, creating the perfect balance between the blade and handle. Removing the need for a bolster to act as a counterweight, Global knives maintain an optimal balance while also being incredibly easy to cut with and sharpen.
